Yep, beat ya to it. JAck and I had fun putting it all together.
If it had been MY engine, I would have used the A-1 stuff - with a SWA independent valve, just because that was what was on it originally, and it might have been fun to use the old gear and learn a new handful of tricks. But making like the rest was the best thing to do.
